New trivia app lets users channel their inner Alex Trebek

The live streaming trivia revolution takes a huge leap forward with the launch of Showdown Live, an interactive mobile app that lets users not only play, but also create live trivia games, spanning any subject at any time of the day or night.

The new app democratizes live streaming trivia by taking the game host out of the sound- studio and into the home of every single user. Now anyone can channel their inner game-show host, leading their own trivia game in any category, and at any time of their choosing. Games are comprised of either six or 12 questions each, and the fastest correct answer wins the round. Now players never need to worry about being eliminated again.

Real-life rewards are also rewarded to players in the app, which are earned not just by winning games, but by simply using the app. When users play, create, win or share games in the app, they receive digital coins which can be redeemed for gift cards from Amazon, Apple, Walmart or Bestbuy.

Showdown Live also fosters community engagement by allowing players to subscribe to the creators that they love and giving them praise in the comment section. When games are completed, players are ranked on the global leaderboard, affording them bragging rights as they compare their ranking against their friends.

The app is available for download in the App Store and Google Play and is currently available in the US, Canada and Australia.
